Derrick Henry and the Titans just dethroned the defending Super Bowl champions, in Foxboro, in the Wildcard round of the playoffs. Henry, who led the NFL in rushing yards during the regular season, rushed 34 times for 182 yards and 1 touchdown. Henry also caught one pass for 22 yards, finishing the day with 204 of the Titans 272 yards of offense.

That’s right: Henry himself accounted for exactly 75.0% of the Tennessee offense on Saturday night, the second-largest percentage by a single player in a playoff win in NFL history. Among players with at least 100 yards of offense, only four other players had accounted for even 70% of a team’s total yards in a playoff game:

• In 1981, the Giants beat the Eagles 27-21, as Rob Carpenter rushed 33 times for 161 yards and caught 4 passes for 32 yards.  Carpenter had 193 of New York’s 275 yards that day (70.2%).
• In 1976, the Vikings defeated the Rams 24-13, in a game that featured an early special teams touchdown for Minnesota and then a whole lot of Chuck Foreman. The great running back finished with 199 yards from scrimmage on only 20 touches, giving him 74.5% of Minnesota’s 267 yards of offense that day.
• In 1971, Washington lost to the 49ers, 24-21, but don’t blame Larry Brown.  The running back would go on to win the AP MVP award the following season, but as a precursor to that performance, Brown rushed 27 times for 84 yards and caught 6 passes for 62 yards and a touchdown, giving him 146 of Washington’s 192 yards of offense.  Brown had 76.0% of the team’s output that day in a losing effort.
• In the 1985 playoffs, the Rams shut out the Cowboys, 20-0, in a game that Eric Dickerson dominated. The Hall of Fame back rushed 34 times for 248 times and 2 touchdowns, and while he lost 4 yards on his lone reception, Dickerson still had 244 of Los Angeles’s 316 yards of offense.  That gave Dickerson a record 77.2% of his team’s offensive production.

Tennessee had the football with a 1st-and-10 on 24 situations last night.  On 18 of them, the Titans ran or passed to Henry, and he picked up at least 4 yards on 11 of those 18 plays.  He also rushed for a touchdown on a 1st-and-goal from the 1-yard line.

Henry touched the ball on 36 of the Titans 57 plays from scrimmage, if you include him recovering a fumble on an aborted snap.  He touched the ball once on 8 consecutive plays, spanning the end of the first half and the start of the second half.  Perhaps most impressively, the Titans never went three straight plays without Henry touching the ball.  Here’s a look at his carry chart, courtesy of Next Gen Stats:

Henry carried the Titans offense, but the Tennessee defense put the team in position to win the game. You can ignore the final seconds of the game, where the Patriots committed two turnovers (including a pick six) that weren’t meaningful to the outcome of the game. Otherwise, New England had 9 drives but was held to just 13 points, with the highlight being a remarkable goal line stand in the final minutes of the first half.
